A Moment In Death

My eyes wide open, all I see is Ebony A white hot Light, to the left : "to the Past" A Heavenly bright White Light to the right "to the Present" I know the path of the past : I live it every day Holding LENORE’S hand entwined to Forever ,Forever Her Heart and mine beating as one for Eternity A Loving Kiss : Heavenly Bliss : Teardrops’ Mist I walk the path to the right, toward the Heavenly Light The mirage I see, behind the White Light, unhued colors, unformed shapes I quicken my pace and run toward the place where I can see LENORE again She sits there , braiding Her long auburn hair , Emerald Eyes glistening with tears “LENORE” ; whispered from my mouth , why so sad; we are together again Forever She puts Her finger to my lips “shh my Heartbeat My LOVE, My LIFE , ALWAYS You are here only for a minuscule of time, You have to go back It is not your time” We embrace I feel the warmth of Eternal LOVE : a Heavenly glow on Her Angelic Face We kiss, memories of a distant past flood my mind I remember the sweetness of her lips LENORE fades away: No , NO , Noooh then I awake to the glare of Hospital lights Shimmering off the tears streaming down my cheeks
